WASHINGTON — It’s time to bite back at those who bite you. D.C.’s unique dining scene is expanding beyond dreamy doughnuts and cheesy chili fries.

Pestaurant, an event started last year in London to expose diners to edible insects, is coming to D.C. June 4. The 3 1/2-hour lunch will take place at Occidental Grill on Pennsylvania Avenue NW, beginning at 11:30 a.m.
